him, although the black qi had lessened somewhat compared to before, it was only temporary. In three days, there would inevitably be a stronger backlash."You have accumulated too much karma from your...More than just Rude, others were also paying attention to Ye Bufan. After all, it was unheard of for a hammer to be shattered like that before.

In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Ye Bufan looked at the artifact in front of him and then raised his right fist.

"My God, is this guy crazy What does it mean to swing his fists Does he plan to punch someone"

“This can’t be possible, forging a sword by punching it with your fists I’ve never seen it, nor have I ever heard of it…”

"Crazy, this is insane! Punching the tires with fists, what else could happen besides broken bones and torn tendons"

In the astonished gazes of countless people, Ye Bufan's fist slammed heavily against the artifact.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, ten times louder than the hammer blow just moments ago, shook the air with such force that it seemed to vibrate the very foundation of the alchemy tower.

Then everyone was astonished to find that the artifact in front of Ye Bufan had been smashed flat with a punch, being countless times more effective than the hammer just now.

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Ye Bufan launched his second punch.

The vessel, enhanced with cinnabar stone, was considered indestructible by many. Yet, in his hands, it was as pliable as noodles.

Using fists instead of hammers not only increases power tenfold but also makes true energy control more flexible and free-flowing.

Two fists pounded down, and the originally oval-shaped vessel now tentatively bore the shape of a long sword.

Before the crowd could even gasp in amazement, his third punch followed.

The effect was even more astonishing this time. The stone platform beneath the artifact actually developed cracks, which is surprising because it was reinforced by a formation and normally completely indestructible.

The changes to the vessel were even greater, after this punch it had completely transformed into a sword embryo.

"My goodness, this guy's fists are even better than a hammer He smashed out a sword embryo with three punches! That's too exaggerated, right"

"This... this guy's fists are so hard Could he be a body cultivator"

"I've lived for so many years and never seen anyone hammer an anvil with their fists, this is simply a miracle!"

Gasps of astonishment filled the air, and the crowd's emotions had completely spiraled out of control.

All eyes were on Ye Bufan, while no one paid any attention to Lu Chaoyang.

After all, the shock this event brought was too great. To forge a sword embryo with three punches, using fists as hammers, is something unheard of and unseen. Lu Youqin stood there, his mouth couldn't close from joy when he saw the hammer shatter before, but now he looked like an idiot, dumbfounded.

Even in his dreams, he couldn't have imagined that the opponent, having lost their hammer, could still fight effectively with their fists. And not only that, they were doing so incredibly well! Is this some kind of divine intervention

Rude's expression was even more exaggerated, his mouth wide open enough to fit two eggs.

He was just teasing people about using fists instead of hammers, and now it's actually happening, and it's working surprisingly well.

Lu Chaoyang was so angry he nearly died. He originally wanted to show off his skills in the second round and draw everyone's attention to himself.

The results turned out well. Now everyone is looking at Ye Bufan, no one even glances in his direction.

Before this, he had racked his brains and couldn't have imagined that under such careful planning, Ye Bufan not only wouldn't make a fool of himself, but would instead steal the show.

"So young and accomplished! Truly, you are full of energy and drive!"

"He's not just a skilled body cultivator, but also incredibly adept at crafting weapons. He forged a sword embryo with just three punches! Old man, I've lived for centuries, and today I've truly broadened my horizons."

Wen Ding was truly delighted, bursting into a fit of laughter. His eyes sparkled with approval and admiration.

Ye Bufan ignored the reactions of others and threw the finished sword embryo in his hand towards the testing area next to him.

Generally speaking, in the alchemy profession, grades are divided into several levels. Inferior is considered qualified, followed by middle grade, high grade, and top grade.

Ye Bufan's sword embryo entered the testing area, and immediately a burst of light shone brightly. Afterwards, two dazzling golden characters rose into the air — Excellent.

Seeing this result, the crowd that had just calmed down once again erupted in excitement.

"Brother Ye is amazing!"

Long live Xiao A-Ge!

Seeing this result, everyone in Tianluo State cheered.

Chen Kangnian's eyes were filled with shock and admiration. Since they met, this young man would always bring him unexpected surprises.

Although I was raising my opinion of the other party, I realized in the end that I still underestimated them.

He who was said to have no talent for alchemy, has not only passed five levels at the Alchemist Guild but also shone brightly in the Alchemy Competition, even eclipsing the fame of the head of the Lu family.

The only unhappy person was Ma Kai. Looking at Ye Bufan's boundless glory, he hated him to the bone.

At that moment, the jade talisman in his pocket vibrated. He hurriedly snuck over and took it into his hand, scanning it with his divine sense. His face immediately lit up with excitement.

"Boy, my father will be here soon with the best from the Ma family. Even if you're a master craftsman, you'll have to kneel before me and apologize to the entire world."

On the other side, Wen Ding let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha, amazing, really amazing, so accomplished at such a young age!"

Then he turned to Ruderen beside him: "Elder Ruderen, I didn't expect you to be so farsighted. You actually spoke true words, and now it seems like it's time to announce the results"

Rude's face had turned as dark as could be, his heart filled with reluctance.

But there was no way, the testing ground was prepared by their Lu family, and the results were out. There was nothing that could be changed at all.

He finally gritted his teeth and announced: "In the second round of the competition, Ye Bufan was the first to complete the tempering process, and he passed."

Although he had tried his best to lower his voice and avoid using flowery language, the moment the results were announced, the venue erupted in thunderous applause.

First place is first place, no matter how you try to downplay it.

On the other side, Lu Chaoyang's face turned pale with anger, his eyes blazing.

If the first time was unprepared, this is the second time, with very thorough preparation, but the limelight was still snatched away.

He finished the hammer test in a few moves. No matter how well he performed, his final ranking could only be second place.

"Damn it!"

After the game ended, he angrily went back to his prepared room.

Lu Youqin knew things were not good, but there was nothing he could do. He could only grit his teeth and follow behind with a nervous smile. By the time he entered the room, cold sweat was already beading on his forehead.

"Damn thing, how did you do that"

Lu Chaoyang turned back and glared at Lu Youqin with fury, unleashing all his anger upon him.

Lu Youqin also had a lot of grievances. Being a lackey wasn't easy, and he now deeply understood that.

“Master, I've added deep-sea Gengjing stone to the boy's materials, and I also tampered with his hammer. Who knew his fists were even harder than the hammer!”

Lu Zhaoyang angrily said: "Stop talking nonsense, this is the last time, next time you must get rid of that kid, absolutely not let him enter the final circle!"en family were also in retail.Just yesterday, the Murong family started to take action against our businesses.
